MOVIE NEWS – Ryan Reynolds, known for his advanced irony, is not lying when he offers the trailer of his new film, Imaginary Friends, to the greats. “Here’s a heartwarming family film from the director of Voiceless, the star of Deadpool and the creators of The Expedition.”

Ryan Reynolds mentions movies, none of which are heartwarming family dramas, and that’s the point of the joke.

In Soundless, the heroes must hide from bloodthirsty alien creatures. Deadpool is a completely age-restricted superhero movie, while Expedition is a philosophical sci-fi horror, praised by critics as seeking answers to modern questions of existence in the mystical Zone, where the usual are not valid the laws of our world, similar to Tarkovsky’s classic Stalke.

Imaginary Friends, on the other hand, is a family movie through and through, the screenwriter-director-starring John Krasinski strong> he took the plunge in order to row into gentler waters after the extremely tense situations of Hang without, which he also recorded.

“I made Imaginary Friends for my kids because they can’t watch Sound Out,” Krasinski said. to Collider. – according to Emily (Emily Blunt, Krasinski‘s wife, the protagonist of the Soundless series) that movie is for people over 40, so there had to be a to make a cinema where they are also admitted.”

IF plays with the idea of what it would be like if the fantastic creatures we imagined as children in the hiding places of our little room with pink wallpaper or lollipops came to life. The creatures are brought to life by a computer, alongside them are top-notch actors who bring their best form, which we can safely call the “Krasinski family and friends troupe”: John Krasinski, Ryan Reynolds, Emily Blunt, Matt Damon, Fiona Shaw, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Lous Gossett Jr., Awkwafina, and Steve Carrell, who plays the most important imaginary friend, the huge purple orb that is difficult to define systematically his voice.
